About Abbotswood Primary School

In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 91% of the 22 respondents said they would recommend the school to another parent. That’s a high level of endorsement, and it’s backed up by the detail: 91% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular in the local area. For the 2025/26 intake, Abbotswood received 81 applications for just 46 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.76.
